A bottle has 5.50 pints of milk. Express the decimal as a fraction.
 a. 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ b. 5 $\frac{50}{100}$ c. $\frac{550}{100}$ d. $\frac{550}{1000}$

#### Solution:

5.50
[Original decimal number.]

= 5 50 / 100
[As there are two digits after decimal point, write the decimal as a fraction with denominator 100.]

= 5 50÷50 / 100÷50
[Divide the numerator and denominator by their GCF, 50.]

= 5 1 / 2
[Simpify.]

So, the equivalent fraction of the decimal number 5.50 is 5 1 / 2.

Sunny cut 2.4 inches long color paper to paste it on one side of a cube. Express the decimal as a fraction.
 a. $2\frac{3}{5}$ b. 3$\frac{2}{5}$ c. 2$\frac{2}{5}$ d. 2$\frac{1}{3}$

#### Solution:

2.4
[Original decimal number.]

= 2 4 / 10
[As there is one digit after decimal point, write 0.4 as a fraction with denominator 10.]

= 2 4 ÷ 210 ÷ 2
[Divide the numerator and denominator by their GCF, 2.]

= 22 / 5
[Simplify.]

So, the equivalent fraction of the decimal number 2.4 is 22 / 5.

Nathan wants to buy a leather flask worth $47.95. Write the price of the a leather flask as a fraction.  a.$$48\frac{1}{6}$ b. $$47\frac{21}{22}$ c.$$47\frac{19}{20}$ d. None of the above

#### Solution:

47.95 = 4795100
[Express decimal as a mixed number.]

= 4795÷5100÷5
[Divide 95 and 100 by their GCF 5.]

= 471920

The price of the a leather flask is $4719 / 20. Correct answer : (3) 124. Jerald had $\frac{6}{7}$ of a apple. Write the decimal form for the fraction of the apple.  a. 0.98 b. 0.857 c. 0.88 d.

She gave 0.45 lb of it to her friend Kelsey. Express the quantity of cornflakes Holly gave to Kelsey as a fraction.  a. $\frac{9}{22}$ b. $\frac{1}{2}$ c. $\frac{10}{21}$ d. $\frac{9}{20}$ #### Solution: 0.45 = 45100 [Convert the decimal number to a fraction.] = 45÷5100÷5 [Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF, 5.] = 920 [Simplify.] Holly gave 9 / 20 lb of cornflakes to Kelsey. Correct answer : (4) 126. Dennis bought stamps for$32.60. Express the cost of the stamps as an equivalent fraction.
 a. $$32\frac{6}{100}$ b.$$32\frac{60}{100}$ c. $32$\frac{3}{50}$ d.$$32\frac{3}{5}$

#### Solution:

32.60 = 3260100
[Convert the decimal part to fraction.]

= 32(60÷20)(100÷20)
[Divide the fraction by 20, the GCF of 60 and 100.]

= 3235
[Simplify.]

The equivalent fraction for the cost of the stamps is \$323 / 5.
